LFC Transfer Spending Should Be Down in 2012, While Revolution Remain Work in Progress

Thursday's chat covered a number of topics. Chelsea and Manchester City are one giant step away from glory. Liverpool will strengthen in the summer. The Revolution may not land a U.S. national team star.

    No exact figure has been/will be disclosed, but I'm expecting a net spend somewhere in the 25-35M range. Just a guess tho #LFC #NESNLive

    @NESN @NESNSoccer What do the #Revs have to do to become a player in Boston sports market? #NESNLive

    #Revs need more fans in the seats + more viewers on TV. A bit more star power + winning wouldn't hurt either. #NESNLive

    @NESN @NESNSoccer Do you think that #MLS re-allocation of #USMNT players could be a potential roadblock for some Nats returning? #NESNLive

    Yes as players want to pick their destinations, but it's no more a roadblock than it always has been. #MLS engineers moves too. #NESNLive

    #LFC or #Revs? Nothing to report on either front. These things are hashed out behind closed doors on both sides of the Atlantic. #NESNLive

    @KAlston30 just became the 2012 Willie Beamon as far as I'm concerned. No shame in that. #Revs nesn.com/2012/05/kevin-… #NESNLive

    About 85-90%. Looks like it's a done deal. #MUFC choked/bottled it. Expect City to win the last 2 and win first title since 1968. #NESNLive

    @nesnsoccer @NESN in my opinion RDM doesn't get the #CFC job if they finish outside tp 4. do you feel the same way?

    I get the sense he's going to get the job for a 1-2 year contract. Reaching 2 finals should be enough. Players will demand it. #NESNLive

    @NESN @NESNSoccer does Chelsea have a shot against Bayern without Terry? Torres is actually scoring now..

    Yes they've got a chance. A snowball's chance... Chelsea beating Bayern will be a bigger upset than beating Barca. Yea, I said it. #NESNLive

    @NESN @NESNSoccer Do you see #MLS getting promotion/relegation in our lifetimes? (maybe to an MLS2?) #NESNLive

    Nah. Nobody's investing in the league to field a franchise in the second division. Wouldn't mind seeing it tho. #NESNLive
